This post is a continuation of the SK!N series on this blog!
If you haven't noticed, this series is about skin care!
Today we are going to talk about food and how it has an effect on your skin!
Let's dive right into it!
FOOD! What you eat has a direct affect on your skin. The things that you chose to put into your body gets into the blood and to every part of your body. Your skin is no exception to this!
Having a dietitian as a mother makes it pretty easy to know what kind of stuff does what to me and what the best things to eat are. I must say that it is not rocket science though! Canada's food guide is honestly just the best way to go about finding the right food and eating the right amount of everything you need to stay healthy. Having a healthy diet makes a healthy body and therefore healthy skin! Healthy skin looks better!
Aside from the general idea of just eating better, there are a few things that are particularly beneficial for the skin!
Let's start with water (again). I cannot stress enough just how important water is! It is quite literally the best drink you can chose! If you're feeling like your skin is bogged down with dirt, stress and external factors, try drinking more water for a few days to clear things up. It will honestly make you feel a difference!
Antioxidants are a great way to give your skin that extra kick! Antioxidants do exactly what they say! They prevent oxidation! An example of oxidation is a peeled apple that has turned brown. The oxygen exposed to the flesh of the apple made a reaction that changed the appearance of the apple! Antioxidants slow or prevent the effects of free radicals which start oxidation!
Besides beautiful skin, antioxidants help prevent heart disease and some cancers! It's a great idea to get into including them in your diet NOW!
HOW CAN I GET SOME OF THESE!?!?!?!?!?!
Blueberries are tasty, antioxidant filled berries!
I hope this helped!
Much love,
Rayne
